Abstract
The paper presents a method for prediction of the behaviour
of a space structure (dense grid) from the knowledge of the
behaviour of a space structure that has all the features of the
original structure but has a different density of pattern. The
model of the structure may be constructed such that it
simulates the basic features of the structure as closely as
possible. Prediction of the behaviour of a dense grid when it
is subjected to a dynamic loading, has been studied. The
model is analysed and the results are employed to obtain
information about the behaviour (forces, displacements and
natural frequencies) of the original structure.
